How to make really good sweet tea?
I have tried numerous times and I just can not get the tea taste and sugary taste to balance out. I do what the box says...4-5 tea bags over 4 cups boiling water per quart.....I just can not ever get it sweet enough?! How much tea and how much sugar do you use???
Answers:
Put a medium sized sauce pot on to boil. Fill with water and drop in two family sized tea bags. Bring to the boil and when it's boiling rapidly turn off heat. Let the bags steep for at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, measure 1 1/2 cups sugar (or more if you like it really sweet- up to 2 cups) and pour into a gallon sized pitcher. Pour over brewed tea and stir to dissolve sugar. Fill pitcher to the top with water and serve over ice with lemon wedges.
